Our Mandate

Mandate: mispon began as an organization to help aspiring Indigenous filmmakers interact with other intermediate/advanced Indigenous filmmakers. To grow professionally and to create a venue to share films, to generate opportunities for professional growth, and to enhance skills and knowledge in this field of storytelling/filmmaking.

Vision: At the heart of mispon is a focus on traditional values in storytelling applied to contemporary forms of storytelling. The goal is to bridge the gaps between the larger filmmaking and general community with the Indigenous communities to generate training opportunities, screenings, events and workshops.

Values: storytelling, communication, harmony, professional growth and collective development
